Purpose
Ensure accurate understanding of cyber-security to small businesses offering healthcare services.
Background
Technology innovation has improved medical procedures resulting in quality healthcare services. Medical practitioners have advanced their practical knowledge by sharing information through digital platforms. Businesses aiming to provide healthcare services will require internet technology in complex information systems. Ideally, ensuring absolute protection of details related to different stakeholders will determine operational efficiency. The privacy of patient’s details will be critical in guaranteeing sustained medical services (Le et al., 2019). As a result, small healthcare firms will require cyber-security frameworks to keep unauthorized individuals out of the systems. Divinity IT aims at reducing cyber threats executed as ransomware attacks. This type of malicious software blocks online users from accessing a computer system until a ransom is paid. It is objective that small businesses providing healthcare services consider cyber-security measures against online attacks. Privacy protection of patients’ details will be fundamental for medical institutions operating as small businesses.
Problem Statement
Online users of different internet services complain of malicious attacks and threats from unknown individuals. It is common to find individuals lured into crimes through digital technologies. Similarly, clients accessing essential services online also experience cyber-threats when making online transactions. Ransomware attacks are also popular among internet users who transact using digital services. Small-scale healthcare businesses will need protection from cyber-attacks aimed at patients’ financial extortion (Petrenko, 2018). The challenge of innovation in healthcare includes keeping private details confidential. The professionalism of medical practitioners is measured through the protection of personal information. Nonetheless, Divinity IT recommends the best innovation against cyber-threats to steal financial assets from patients using ransomware.
Solution (W/Goals)
Cyber-security frameworks against computer malware ensure the safety and protection of stakeholders of an information system. Divinity IT recognizes the importance of social ethics in preventing malicious attempts on personal details for patients. Morals will be socially applicable to individuals visiting protected areas such as server and camera rooms. Small-based businesses providing healthcare services will also need a modern firewall developed against ransomware threats (Le et al., 2019). The application detects and deters hackers from accessing confidential details of patients. For instance, antivirus software close internet gateways to computer networks and databases storing personal information among patients. Hackers aim for more information with access to social services, including identification data and biometrics. The information is then used to harm targeted victims through financial extortion. Therefore, Divinity IT advocates for cyber-security measures for assuring patients about personal data safety. Small-scale healthcare firms should consider both antivirus and anti-ransom applications against potential malware threats.
Recommendation
Objective strategies are useful for avoiding ransomware attacks against patients. Medical firms operating in the local healthcare market should consider modern anti-malware applications. The software allows online users to identify and mitigate potential cyber-attacks. As a result, Divinity IT recommends firewalls as a fundamental and proactive tactic of protecting patients (Le et al., 2019). Besides, management officials of small-scale healthcare firms should adopt strict privacy policies among practitioners. Keeping unauthorized personnel from accessing data would be strategic in reducing internal cyber-attacks such as ransomware. Hackers are informed on technology development; hence, they use sophisticated algorithms to exploit an information system’s weaknesses. Small firms providing medical services should consider integrating emerging trends in technology to overcome potential threats from hackers. Stakeholder details will be vital in establishing trust between patients and local medical institutions.
